 .IX Item "sleep"
 This is functionally identical to Perl's builtin \f(CW\*(C`sleep()\*(C'\fR function
 for suspending the execution of the current for process for certain
-number of seconds, see \*(L"sleep\*(R" in perlfunc.  There is one significant
+number of seconds, see \*(L"sleep\*(R" in perlfunc.  There is one signifanct
 difference, however: \f(CW\*(C`POSIX::sleep()\*(C'\fR returns the number of
 \&\fBunslept\fR seconds, while the \f(CW\*(C`CORE::sleep()\*(C'\fR returns the
 number of slept seconds.
